    Unfortunately not. I guess it would be one of the large hotels in the city centre just north of the venue.

    I saw the first and the rematch as a youngster as well, don't remember it going like that. I must watch it again, from memory Campbell looked worse in the second and was beaten legit?
    Pretty much right on the rest though. Muay Thai and MMA are better governed and better reff'd in Australia than boxing and the results over the last thirty years speak volumes IMO.

    Tomlinson vs Aguelo a couple years back was shocking. The Filipino bashed him from post to post for 10 rounds, yet Tomlinson got the decision and was booed out of the ring.

    I was there that night.

    Best looking round card girl I ever saw in my life.

    The refereeing was one-sided in parts but I don't think it was determinative of the outcome.

    I mean, the ref got the headbutt knockdown call wrong in the Whyte-Parker fight on the weekend. That doesn't mean it's okay to use it as an excuse for the rest of the fight. That was actually far more influential than anything that happened in Peden v Campbell. If anyone has any doubts, go & watch the fight on youtube. No footage of the round-card girl unfortunately. I've checked.

    Looking forward to seeing Bangin' Billy make Farmboxer look silly.

    Farmboxer looks like a kangaroo in the headlights with that tweet.

    Could be another Danny Green-Roy Jones first round job.

    I just hope Farmboxer doesn't stink the joint out by running & holding all night.

    Here's the Robbie Peden v Nate Campbell "robbery".

    Judge for yourself.

    It's at Technology Park, Redfern.

    Hang onto your wallet or someone will steal it.

    Best not to park your car anyone near the venue either or it won't be there when you get back.

    As for tickets, not sure of venue capacity, but you should be able to get in.

    Run & hold merchants like Farmboxer don't draw.

    Its Billy Dib. Billy's own mother wearing a blindfold couldn't score this fight for him.

    Smash him like a guitar. That's right.

    I'm expecting the American judge, Adelaide Byrd, to score it to Farmboxer.

    Anyone know anything about her?

    Is she any good?
